Abstract
An exhaust hood system can include an intake located within a building, an output, a duct positioned between the intake and the output, the duct fluidly connecting the intake and the output together, a filter positioned within the duct, the filter emitting a liquid within a portion of the duct, a drain in fluid communication with the filter, and a chamber comprising a photosynthetic agent or a fungal agent. The chamber can be in fluid communication with the drain.
Claims19
An exhaust hood system comprising:
- an intake located within a building;
- an output;
- a duct positioned between the intake and the output, the duct fluidly connecting the intake and the output together, one end of the duct being connected to the intake and an opposing end of the duct being connected to the output;
- a filter positioned within the duct, the filter emitting a liquid within a portion of the duct;
- a drain in fluid communication with the filter, the drain receiving the liquid emitted by the filter;
- and
- a chamber comprising a photosynthetic agent, or a fungal agent, the chamber being connected to the output and being downstream from the filter, the chamber being in fluid communication with the drain and receiving the liquid from the drain.

An exhaust hood system comprising:
- an intake located within a building;
- an output located outside of the building;
- a duct connected between the intake and the output, the duct fluidly connecting the intake and the output together, one end of the duct being connected to the intake and an opposing end of the duct being connected to the output, the duct having:
- a vertical intake portion positioned within the building;
- a vertical exhaust portion positioned outside of the building;
- and
- a horizontal portion positioned between the vertical intake portion and the vertical exhaust portion;
- a filter positioned within the duct between the intake and the output, the filter emitting a liquid within a portion of the duct;
- a drain in fluid communication with the filter, the drain receiving the liquid emitted by the filter;
- a drain line in fluid communication with the drain;
- a valve in fluid communication with the drain line;
- a recirculation line in fluid communication with the valve, the recirculation line in fluid communication with the filter;
- a pump in fluid communication with the valve and the recirculation line, the pump directing fluid from the valve, through the recirculation line, and to the filter to emit the liquid;
- a chamber in fluid communication with the drain, the chamber being connected to the output and being downstream from the filter, the chamber comprising a photosynthetic agent, or a fungal agent;
- and
- the system further comprising at least one of:
- a vertical line in fluid communication with the valve and the chamber, the vertical line configured to deliver the liquid, collected from the drain, to the chamber;
- or
- a horizontal line in fluid communication with the valve and the chamber, the horizontal line configured to deliver the liquid, collected from the drain, to the chamber.
16 more elements
An exhaust hood system comprising:
- an intake located within a building, and configured to be positioned above a heat source, the heat source including cooking equipment;
- an output located outside of the building;
- a duct connected between the intake and the output, the duct fluidly connecting the intake and the output together, one end of the duct being connected to the intake and an opposing end of the duct being connected to the output;
- a filter positioned within the duct, the filter emitting a liquid within a portion of the duct;
- a drain in fluid communication with the filter, the drain receiving the liquid emitted by the filter;
- a chamber comprising a photosynthetic agent, or a fungal agent, the chamber being connected to the output and being downstream from the filter, the chamber being in fluid communication with the drain and receiving the liquid from the drain;
- and
- an energy harvesting system positioned within the duct, the energy harvesting system being configured to at least one of:
- slow the speed of air flow through the duct thereby generating electrical energy;
- or
- cool the air as that flows through the duct thereby generating electrical energy.
